BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

I. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to mixtures of perfluoroaliphatic substituted amines and the method for preparing the same.

II. Description of the Prior Art

It is well known that nonfluorinated alkyl halides of the formula

    C.sub.n H.sub.2n+1 X

wherein n is an integer and X is a halogen, react with ammonia and with amines to produce various substituted amine and quaternary ammonium slats. However, in the case of fluorinated alkyl halides of the formula:

    C.sub.n F.sub.2n+1 --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --Y

wherein n and Y each has the same meaning as stated above, the halides become readily dehydrohalogenated in the presence of nucleophilic agents such as various amines which include the tertiary amine to yield fluorinated olefins of the formula

    C.sub.n F.sub.2n+1 --CH═CH.sub.2

summary of the invention

we have discovered that it is possible according to the method of this invention to react perfluoroalkyl iodides or bromides with primary or secondary amines to produce perfluoroaliphatic substituted amines as the principal reaction product and a minor amount of a fluoro-olefin of the formula

    C.sub.n F.sub.2n+1 --CH═CH.sub.2

wherein n is an integer from 1 to about 20. Broadly stated, the perfluoroalkyl substituted amines of the invention have the formula ##STR5## wherein n as stated hereinabove is an integer from 1 to about 20, m is 2 or 4, R¹ and R² each is a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and R³ and R⁴ each is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an alkenyl containing 3 to 10 carbon atoms, a cycloparaffin radical containing 3 to 12 carbon atoms, a cycloalkenyl radical containing 5 to 12 carbon atoms, an N or O ring substituted cycloalkenyl radical containing 5 to 12 carbon atoms or an aryl, or R³ or R⁴ are joined in the form of an alkylene radical of the formula

    --(CHR).sub.p --

wherein p is an integer form 2 to 6 and R is a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms.

The perfluoroaliphatic substituted amines of this invention are prepared by reacting at a temperature in the range between 0° and 200° C. a perfluoroalkyl halide of the formula

    C.sub.n F.sub.2n+1 (CR.sup.1 R.sup.2).sub.m Y              (II)

wherein n, m, R¹ and R² each has the same meaning as defined hereinabove and Y is an iodine or a bromine atom with an amine of the formula ##STR6## wherein R³ and R⁴ each also has the same meaning as previously stated.

When at least one of the radicals R¹ and R² is hydrogen, m is equal to 2 and n is an integer from 4 to 20, the reaction of compounds II and III simultaneously yields compounds of the formula ##STR7## together with compounds of the formula ##STR8## in which R¹, R³ and R⁴ have the same meaning as designated above and n is an integer of 4 to 20 which constitutes novel compounds and novel mixtures of the compounds of formulas IV and V.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Perfluoroalkyl halides of the formula

    C.sub.n F.sub.2n+1 (CR.sup.1 R.sup.2).sub.m Y              (II)

when reacted with amines of the formula ##STR9## yield perfluoroalkyl amines of the formula ##STR10## The symbols n, m, R¹, R², R³, R⁴ and Y each has the same meaning as stated previously.

When the formula II compound of this process is selected to be a compound of the formula

    C.sub.n F.sub.2n+1 (CHR.sup.1).sub.2 Y                     (VI)

in which n is an integer from 4 to 20 there is simultaneously produced a compound of the formula ##STR11## together with a compound of the formula ##STR12##

The process of this invention may be carried out with or without the use of a solvent. The suitable solvents for the reaction preferably have boiling points below about 200° C. Examples of these solvents are as follows:

I. Halogenated hydrocarbons having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms; fluorinated, chlorinated, fluoro-chlorinated hydrocarbons preferably chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, methylene chloride, ethylene chloride, 1,1-dichlorethylene, difluorotetrachlorethane, trichlorotrifluoroethane;

II. Primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohol with 1 to 10 carbon atoms; n-butanol, isobutanol, n-pentanol, isopentanol, n-hexanol, 2-hexanol, 2-heptanol, n-heptanol, n-octanol;

III. Aliphatic cyclic, heterocyclic, or aromatic ethers; ethyl, propyl or isopropyl ethers, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydropyrane, anisole;

IV. Aliphatic, cyclic or aromatic ketones; 2-butanone, 2-pentanone, 3-pentanone, cyclohexanone, acetophenone;

V. Aliphatic or aromatic esters; propyl formate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, phenyl acetate, methyl benzoate, ethyl benzoate;

VI. Tertiary amine; pyridine, 2-methylpyridine, N-methylpiperidine.

In addition, aprotic solvents can also be used. The suitable solvents of this type include dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, hexamethylophosphorotriamide. Among the various solvents mentioned, we prefer to use the tertiary amines.

As stated previously, the perfluoroalkyl halides of the following formula

    C.sub.n F.sub.2n+1 (CR.sup.1 R.sup.2).sub.m Y

wherein n is an integer from 1 to about 20, m is 2 or 4, R¹, R² each is a hydrogen atom or lower alkyl containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms and Y is an iodine or a bromine atom, are suitable as starting material for preparing the perfluoroalkyl substituted amine or this invention. We, however, prefer to use iodides wherein n is in the range between 6 to 12, m is 2 and R¹ and R² each is hydrogen atom. The preferred iodides are prepared by reacting C_(n) F_(2n+1) I with ethylene in the presence of a free radical generating initiator such as heat, α,α-azo-bisisobutyronitrile, benzoyl peroxide and the like; the reaction generates compounds containing an even number of methylene groups --(CH₂)_(m) --.

When the preferred iodides of formula VI are employed, the process of this invention will simultaneously produce a formula V compound admixed with a formula IV compound.

The suitable amines for the process of the invention are primary and secondary amines of the formula: ##STR13## wherein R³ and R⁴ each is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms, cycloparaffin radical containing 3 to 12 carbon atoms, or an aryl. The primary and secondary amines containing double bonds wherein R³ and R⁴ each is an alkenyl or a cycloalkenyl are also suitable for the process. In addition, we found R³ and R⁴ may be joined in the form of an alkylene radical of the formula

    --(CHR).sub.p --

wherein R is a hydrogen or a lower alkyl containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms and p is an integer from 2 to 6.

When R³ and R⁴ each is an alkyl, it typically may be a straight chain or a branched alkyl including methyl, ethyl n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, t-butyl, i-butyl, n-pentyl, 2-pentyl, n-hexyl, n-heptyl, 3-heptyl, n-dodecyl and n-octadecyl. When R³ and R⁴ are joined together and is an alkenyl, it may be vinyl, allyl, propenyl, i-propenyl, 2-penten-2-yl, or ehepten-3-yl. When R³ and R⁴ are joined together and is a cycloparaffin radical, it may be cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclopenten-1-yl, cyclohexyl, cyclohexen-3-yl, 3-methylcyclohexen-3-yl, or 4-methylcyclohexen-3-yl. When R³ and R⁴ are joined together and is an aryl, it may be phenyl or naphtyl. The suitable cycloalkenyls include cycloalkenyls containing N or O in the ring such as 2-tetrahydrofuryl, 2-furyl, and 4-pyridyl.

The fluorinated compounds according to the invention have very interesting and varied applications. They can be used as synthesis intermediates, particularly as auxiliaries in the textile industry, for example, as hydrophobic, oleophobic, and anti-spotting agents and in preparation of dyestuffs. They have surface tension properties such that they can also be used as surface-active agents (surfactants). For example, C₆ F₁₃ --C₂ H₄ --NH(C₄ H₉) dissolved in water at a weight concentration of 0.017 percent, lowers the surface tension of the water to 35 dynes/cm at 32° C. The surface tension decreases more strongly the longer the fluorinated chain. The compound of formula IV and mixtures thereof with the compounds of formula V have the same utility as the saturated products of formula I as disclosed above.

Further to illustrate this invention specific examples are described hereinbelow. The following examples, 1-9, also produce mixtures of saturated and unsaturated perfluoroaliphatic amines as reported in examples 20-30. However, the corresponding unsaturated amines were not separated or recovered therefrom and therefore the yields reported for the saturated perfluoroaliphatic amines are in fact the yields of the mixture. Examples 31-34 did not yield a mixture of amines.

This mixture was then agitated with 100 cm³ of a 15 percent aqueous solution of NaOH. The resulting solution was subjected to five successive extractions with 100 cm³ of ethyl ether, and the ether extracts were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After evaporation of the ether, the liquid was distilled and there were obtained two fractions and a residue.

EXAMPLE 3

A mixture of C₆ F₁₃ --C₂ H₄ I (47.4 grams, 0.1 mole) and n-butylamine 29.2 grams, (0.4 mole), dissolved in pyridine (100 cm³), was heated with reflux at 100°-108° C. for 4 hours and 30 minutes under continuous agitation. This mixture was then distilled and there were obtained two fractions and a residue.

EXAMPLE 4

A mixture of C₄ F₉ --C₂ H₄ --I (74.8 grams, 0.2 mole) and diethylamine (58 grams, 0.8 mole), dissolved in 200 cm³ of pyridine, was heated with reflux and under continuous agitation at 70°-81° C. for 4 hours. The mixture was then agitated with 15 percent by weight aqueous solution of NaOH. There were thus obtained two phases: one organic; the other aqueous. The latter was extracted with ethyl ether (five) successive extractions with 50 cm³), and the other extracts were combined with the organic phase. The ether was evaporated and then the residual liquid was distilled. There were thus obtained three fractions.

a. 45°-75° C/250 mm Hg. fraction: this fraction was washed with water and two phases were recovered. The most dense phase, after drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate, weighed 10.3 grams; it was made up of C₄ F₉ --C₂ H₄ --N(C₂ H₅)₂ (88 percent), C₄ F₉ --CH═CH₂ (6 percent), and pyridine (6 percent).
